His Deuises, for his owne exercise, and his Friends pleasure. Vincit qui patitur", 1581, 4to, 51 leaves, preserved among Malone's books in the Bodleian Library. It appears from the dedicatory epistle that he was now in the service of the Countess of Pembroke (Mary Sidney), and that the poems were written at Wilton House "at ydle times … to auoyde greater ydlenesse or worse businesse". Howell's works have been reprinted in Dr. Grosart's "Occasional Issues". (en) |
